I used to have a problem with blushing. Well, lemme start over - I thought the problem was that I blushed (when really it was other stuff). I used to fantasize about not being able to blush, and how awesome that would be. I'd think, yay, I'd be able to talk my ass off without worrying about anything!!
Anyway, I forgot about it for a long time. And to be honest, since becoming more social and making more friends, and becoming more confident (getting to know myself, loving myself, etc)... I found that blushing just stopped. To think about it now, I just don't blush socially at all. I didn't notice it stop. It's just that when it did, in fact, happen (it happened just last week for the first time in what feels like YEARS) I'd really, really notice it. And the times that it does happen, are purely due to a rare social anxiety (this time, I was talking to a girl I hadn't seen in a while, and there were awkward silences, etc).
You don't blush at home, by yourself do you? When you're reading a book, do you? Isolate the places where it does happen, and realise that it's all inside. The answers are within. If you're afraid of blushing, what does that tell you? You're afraid of how people will react? You're afraid of being out of control? You're afraid of not being perfect? You're afraid of saying the wrong thing? There are a lot of reasons why it might happen. It's all personal. From realising the root causes, and then tending to them (which usually, is about simply upp'ing your self-esteem and loving yourself, and focusing on other things)... it will simply dissapear automatically.  |
